Customizing MS Team Apps and Team Creation
Hi there,
My workplace would like to use MS Teams that we have with our Office 365 Tenant.
Even though we are part of the Education system, we are mostly focusing on pure business, so we don't need the Education Features that MS Teams for Education offers, such as:
- Edu Class/Staff Notebooks
- Creating other Teams like the Class/Staff
Is there a way to disable or turn those off to make it less confusing for users.

- Hi SKasai,
Have a look at this Uservoice
https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/599053-schools-and-universities/suggestions/33948928-remove-staff-notebook-from-microsoft-teams-for-e
Recommendation by Microsoft is to use the Anyone team. The Anyone Team does not include any add-ons and can be used in any way you like.
Like you say, important that other orgs in education are not forced to use class teams.
Hope that answers your question!
Best, ChrisSadly, this isn't really what is offered in this case. When referencing the link they give:

The screen you get is:
So the Anyone isn't there anymore, and even when you create an Other Team, the ... section still shows:
Where we would like to hide or remove the Edu Class Notebook and the Edu Staff Notebook apps from the list as we don't do the actual 'teaching' that would need these apps.
- Hmm ok!
How about applying an app permission policy to an other team through the Teams Admin Centre? So users can’t actually select and use these apps?

Let me know if that works!
